It works in reverse ...Just build a skin "in" the playlist. Anchor it as you see fit, so that it doesn't move/expand the playlist, or your skin elements, or let it if you can incorporate that into a pull-out type shade.

The only known issue is that you will still get a "playlist" if the user right clicks their way to one...causing a doubling of the skin.

Cliff says he's going to fix a bug that currently makes it impossible to call the playlist through keywords.

One way would be to hide your skin except for a button, which when clicked, opens skin w playlist incorporated... In other words, opens skinned playlist.
